Why is it inevitable? I can't see him leaving the PL as he can break Shearer's record and there's no way we'd sell him to a direct rival.
Off the top of my head blanchflower and king are the only greats that didn't leave us.
Who would he go to then?Because there's far more historical evidence that he will than he won't. Everyone leaves eventually. In my entire lifetime, not a single great player has seen out their career at Spurs.
Admittedly, this is pretty much the best we've been, but others around him will leave - including Poch, which could change everything. In fact it's a huge assumption that we'll stay top 4 for next decade. One season out of Europe is all it could take. Just being realistic.
Huge leap of faith to think he'll stay for next 10 years. That's great and bully for you but I'm tired of having to explain why he might leave - let's not pretend it isn't the most obvious result
I obviously hope he stays. But Shearer is held up as a poster boy for not winning as much as he should have. To emulate him is a double edged sword, to be honest, and Kane will break tonnes of records whatever he does.
The loyalty hand is overplayed for me, too many people who don't know him making assumptions about his personality and ambition. I'd question his drive if he didn't leave for titles eventually if we can't provide the platform.
I'm not bothered if he stays or goes, because I believe it's a win-win situation for us either way.
If he stays we've got a true legend of the game playing for us. If he leaves it'll be for such an eye-watering amount of money, we'll be able to buy a very good replacement and also 4 or 5 brilliant young prospects. In the past we've lost the likes of Carrick, Berbatov, Modric, Bale and although we've had our ups and downs, overall we've grown stronger as a club to the point where we are fighting for the title.

We'll not be spending a big fee on a ready made replacement. A £100m player will demand £100m players wages.
Thats where we and Everton would/did struggle.
It's sad that so many spurs fans are already resigned to the fact he'll leave.
It's not based on any history or fact. Yes we've sold players but rarely if ever are they spurs fans and rarely are they as good as him and rarely are we as good as we are.
Put all those together....
Everyone hopes he staysIt's quite concerning to see the amount of Yes responses, thought it would be one way traffic.
Blimey, if you can't hope a guy who supported your club as a boy and came up through the ranks (despite that awful red spell) will see out his best years at the club then God help you if you cuff a fit bird!
Saddening to see the impact obscene money and plastic clubs has had on the Premier League era; building a generation of cynics.
